Difficult To Raise Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Accident Everyone stayed on the platform for a long time…

Everyone stayed on the platform for a while before heading back to the camping area.The road ahead was very difficult. Several people were out of breath and no longer interested in joking. Even for lunch, they just grabbed some food from their bags.

When we arrived at the camping area, everyone wanted to lie down directly on the ground.No one has been to the camping area before, and there are still some scattered stones and weeds.Shen Xin greeted everyone to clean up.

After finishing their work, everyone simply rested where they were for a while to refresh themselves.

He Qian’s physical strength was not bad. He recovered after resting for about ten minutes and went to set up a tent with great interest.

Seeing that everyone was starting to take action, everyone stopped taking a break and took out the tents in their backpacks one after another and got busy working in all directions.

Jiang Ran had never set up a tent before, so he was a little fussy with a bunch of brackets and fabrics. He almost dropped the fabric as soon as he opened the brackets.

Jiang Jin couldn’t see it, so he walked over and took the bracket from his hand, aligning it with the buckle skillfully, “First do this, tighten the crossbar, and then pull the fabric.”

With his long fingers, he pinched the bracket to adjust the angle, and quickly put up the prototype of the tent.

Jiang Ran stood watching and couldn’t help but said: “When did you know how to set up a tent?”

Jiang Jin looked at him with a smile on his face, “Brother, I have learned a lot over the years, you will know it later.”

Jiang Ran: “…” He didn’t know how to answer this.

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the wind is a little cooler.Shen Xin glanced at his watch and clapped his hands: “Are you hungry? Let’s find a place to make a fire and cook. I brought hot pot base ingredients, some vegetables and meat, how about making a hot pot?”

“Okay,” Zeng Meiling said, “I’m so hungry after climbing the mountain. I’m almost too hungry to walk.”

No one else had any objections. He Qian found a few stones and built a simple stove. Then he said with some distress: “I have to find some firewood. I just looked through it and I didn’t seem to find charcoal.”

Jiang Jin stood up and said proactively: “I’ll go.”

He Siyu: “Together.”

Zeng Meiling said: “Since we are all in the mountains, why not find some wild vegetables? They are pure natural and pollution-free vegetables. I just don’t know if they are available here.”

Shen Xin recalled, “Yes, there is. It’s around the forest, but don’t go in when you’re looking for it. There are piles of dead leaves on the ground. You can’t see the road clearly. I don’t know if there are any pits or holes. Even if there aren’t, you’re afraid of encountering venomous snakes.”

“It’s okay, we just don’t have to go in then.” Zeng Meiling pulled her friend to stand up, “Let’s go look for it. I’ve been eating wild vegetables since I was a child. I know a lot of them, so it’s easy to find them.”

Jiang Ran was afraid that it would be unsafe for the two girls to go alone, so he suggested that he go along.

So two people looked for firewood, three people looked for wild vegetables, and the remaining three set up tents in the camping area and washed the ingredients they brought. The division of labor was clear.

The camping area is an open area, and after walking a little further, you enter a dense forest.

Now that the sun has gradually set, the light is not that strong, and when it is blocked by the tall trees, it looks even dimmer.

Jiang Ran and the other three were looking for wild vegetables at the edge of the forest. Very few people came to this place, as the vegetation grew tall.

Zeng Meiling carefully selected them and said while searching: “Let’s look for some common ones, such as purslane, dandelion, shepherd’s purse, etc., so as not to cause any problems. If you don’t know them, you can show them to me after you find them.”

Jiang Ran didn’t know much about wild vegetables, so he smiled at Zeng Meiling: “Okay, I’m sorry to bother you, I really don’t necessarily know them.”

“You grew up in the city, right?” Zeng Meiling smiled slightly and said with some nostalgia: “When I was a child, I lived in the countryside. There was a big mountain behind my house. Every spring I would run to the mountain to pick some mushrooms, wild vegetables and so on. Sometimes I was lucky and could come across delicious wild fruits. I didn’t think it was anything at the time, but now I can think of it from time to time.”

Jiang Ran was startled and suddenly remembered the days when he and Jiang Jin were together.Although life was a bit difficult in those years, when I look back now, I don’t think it was too bitter. On the contrary, it was bitter mixed with sweetness.

Finding wild vegetables is a test of eyesight. Many wild vegetables and weeds grow together in a pile. If you don’t look carefully, you can hardly tell the difference.Jiang Ran bent over while identifying, and his eyes were almost dazzled.

He was only focused on his work and didn’t notice the movements of others.

When he looked up again, the two girls had come together at some point, some distance away from him, and they were talking head to head.

Jiang Ran frowned, quickened his pace to keep up with them, and warned, “Don’t go any further. The forest is deep. It’s going to be dark soon. It’s not safe inside.”

The two stopped, looking a little embarrassed on their faces.Zeng Meiling pursed her lips and said with some embarrassment: “I was just going to tell you that Xiao Chen’s stomach is a little uncomfortable. I’ll go with her to sort it out and I’ll be back in a while.”

Jiang Ran heard what she said and looked at the red faces of the two of them. What else didn’t he understand?I immediately felt embarrassed.

Jiang Ran lowered his eyelids, not daring to look at her face, “Then you go, I’ll wait for you here.”

Zeng Meiling took the girl’s arm and responded hurriedly: “Okay, okay, we know, don’t worry.”

Jiang Ran stared at the backs of the two of them, then bent down and continued the previous action. After a while, his waist became unbearable and the pain was severe.

He stood up with support on his waist, moved his stiff limbs, and looked around, only to realize that this place was far away from the camping area, and he could hardly see the way he came.

He didn’t realize that someone was talking to him just now, but now he couldn’t hear anyone’s voice, and the surroundings seemed extremely quiet. There was only the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, which made people feel terrified.

Jiang Ran was a little frightened, so he took out his cell phone from his pocket and wanted to call Jiang Jin.When he took out his phone, he was dumbfounded. The screen turned out to be black. He pressed the power button, but there was no response. It was obvious that the battery was still over 60 when he first arrived.

Jiang Ran sighed and found a stone to sit on.I don’t know how long I waited, but the last touch of orange in the west was slowly disappearing. The shadows of tall trees almost blocked the only light. The arrival of darkness actually happened in an instant, but it made the dense forest look particularly deep.

Jiang Ran stood there blankly for a moment. His first reaction was to go back quickly. Before he could take a step forward, he remembered that Zeng Meiling and the others hadn’t come back yet.He couldn’t leave two girls here.

The atmosphere was too eerie, and the light in the sky was disappearing little by little.Jiang Ran raised his eyes from time to time and looked in the direction where the girl disappeared. After so long, no one came back.

Even if it’s diarrhea, it won’t take that long.

Jiang Ran’s heart skipped a beat and he couldn’t sit still any longer. He stood up and planned to find someone.He thought, they would go to the toilet, and they would not go far.

Jiang Ran was thinking as he walked forward. The woods behind him were spreading their teeth and claws, as if a black net had been spread out, trying to cover his whole body.

*

Jiang Jin and He Siyu came back from collecting firewood and saw only a few remaining people wandering around the camp. He Qian and Shen Xin didn’t know where they went. However, two girls digging wild vegetables came back, but Jiang Ran was not there. He frowned and asked, “Where is my brother?”

Zeng Meiling’s face was full of worry, “We just went to the toilet, and we didn’t see anyone else when we got back. We thought he came back early. Who knew…”

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Jin threw away the things in his hands and walked back with a calm face. As he walked, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There were no messages or missed calls.

He opened Jiang Ran’s number and dialed it.

“Dududu, the phone you dialed has been turned off…”

It turned off.

Uneasiness shrouded him like a black mist, and Jiang Jin’s heart kept sinking and sinking. He almost felt like he was suffocating, and his steps accelerated involuntarily.

After a few seconds, there was a noise behind him, and He Siyu followed him, “I’ll go with you.”

Jiang Jin didn’t answer. He was completely uninterested in talking now.

The woods are very dark at night, very dark.They need to turn on the lighting function of their mobile phones to see the road under their feet.

Jiang Jin couldn’t imagine how panicked Jiang Ran would be in such an environment. Would he be afraid?Will you get lost?Will…an accident happen?

He forced himself not to think about anything. The most important thing now was to find someone first.

Zeng Meiling and another girl followed her at some point and pointed to the road ahead with a shameful expression, “This is right here. This is where we separated before.”

The girl next to her was sobbing softly, “Is everything going to be okay?”

Just after she finished speaking, Jiang Jin, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and glared at her, scaring her into silence.

Jiang Jin looked at the forked roads in front of him and thought in his mind, if he were Jiang Ran, where would he go?After thinking about it, he asked Zeng Meiling, “Which way did you go to the convenience store?”

Zeng Meiling pointed to the left and said softly: “This one.”

Jiang Jin walked in the direction she pointed without saying a word.

Seeing this, He Siyu said, “We’ll look for him separately. You two can call him if you need anything.”

Both girls nodded.

Jiang Jin held a stick in his hand and walked forward along the dark path.The grass here grew very deep, and he had to hit it with a stick from time to time to prevent a snake from unexpectedly emerging from it.

When the stick was knocked down, a swarm of fireflies stirred up, and the green light flickered in the air, converging for a while, and then dispersed again.It’s very beautiful, but Jiang Jin is not in the mood to appreciate it now.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stepped on something under his feet. He paused, held the phone lower, and bent down to look at it.

It was a brown wallet that looked familiar.

Jiang Jin picked up the wallet with an ugly look on his face, opened it and saw Jiang Ran’s ID card inside.He even left his wallet here, but he didn’t know where he went.

Jiang Jin put his wallet in his pocket, and the hand holding the phone was shaking a little.

“Brother, brother, where are you…” He finally couldn’t help shouting, and while shouting, he walked forward, and he didn’t know when he threw away the stick he had been carrying.

The woods were silent except for his shouts.But in such an environment, the probability of a lost person hearing a cry is very small.

He didn’t stop and shouted over and over again until his voice became slightly hoarse.
